Sanford is hired away from Utah State where he was the OC for 2019 but was previously a head coach at Western Kentucky and has served as an assistant at Notre Dame, Boise State and Stanford.

Sanford will presumably also serve at the team’s quarterback coach as he played QB for Boise in college and he was the OC/QB coach at Notre Dame and Boise before taking the Western Kentucky head job for 2 years.
